Looks like we are experiencing a DDOS attack on our servers at this moment.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Any ETA when we might be back up? It's annoying to switch all my servers  Lrn2failover |

Where the heck do you live that they can charge you $40 tax on a $20 item?
I live in Canada, and ordered a small, $3 laptop fan from a company in the states. Ended up paying about $40 in import fees. "Free trade" my ass. Yeah, "NAFTA" is complete bullshit. |

Hey OP, I'm about to report your bitcoins as stolen, k?

posted by rjk:The issue with that plugin is that it allows freeform tags, whereas ideally you would have to choose from a list of predefined tags.
Not sure I understand why it would be an issue -- even using predefined tags, it's going to be like herding cats to get users to use the "right" tags. There may well be a predefined tag plugin out there, and I'm sure it's possible to modify one of the existing ones to a set list of tags -- just only have experience with the one I mentioned. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Frank Well in this case, the "right" tags wouldn't matter since there would be a minimum of one tag, and the minimum tag would automatically be applied based on which section the topic was started in. Advanced users could tag a topic with additional sections, and then the topic would show in the tagged sections as well as the one it was started in. I was thinking tags only, no boards. I come to the forum, and click on "economics" tag, see what's new there. Then I also click on the "speculation" tag (check box) - now I see topics (aka threads) that have both "economics" and "speculation" tags applied. I start a new topic at that moment, it's got automatically those two tags applied to begin with. I can add/remove tags as desired (from the predefined list). There has to be at least one tag. You come to the forum and choose to view "speculation" topics. You see all topics with that tag, including mine. Then you add "mining" tag, and you are you viewing topics filtered based on that. My topic is not there. That's a possibility as well, I was thinking of something that would bolt on to the existing interface without changing it too much. |

You are reading my statement wrong. I was saying that specifically about blockchain.info. On MtGox, the yubikey is still a one-time password generator, although it never has been time dependent. It is not a TOTP token. Read more at http://yubico.com/So, you mean that every password generated by a Yubikey can only be used once on Mt. Gox ... but that one time can be in whatever time in the future. Suppose I generate a Yubikey, and for fun just generate an OTP into notepad, to test that it works. Then, I connect to Mt. Gox, and use the Yubikey to generate another OTP. If a Trojan sniffs the first OTP, will it be able to use it later on to login? If you generate an OTP, it can be used any time in the future unless you generate another one and use it. Using a later OTP invalidates all previous OTPs. |

If I use a Yubikey on Mt. Gox, can a trojan capture this key, and reuse it some time in the future? Actually, if you are using a MtGox yubikey as 2FA, you are similarly not protected by keyloggers - they don't validate the whole token, they just use the first so many digits (the serial number of the key) as the second factor.  Unfortunately, LastPass does the same damn thing for offline access. You are reading my statement wrong. I was saying that specifically about blockchain.info.

Yes. You can import it with the bitcoind command line, as well as with tools such as pywallet. Please note that a command line import may freeze for several seconds while the blockchain is scanned for the address.

Want us to teach you how to 7?
Forget which forum you're on, rjk? lol, it was just a whim, wasn't sure how many people would get it.  Sorry to derail your topic, OP. |

Prices at 1$ and 2000$ are nowhere near relevant for current market activity. What do you glean from knowing that someone wants 0.01 BTC at 1$?. In some cases (equity exchanges, etc) trading wil leven halt if the price of the market moves too dramatically over a given timeframe.
Some heuristic bots might be very interested in that data. |

I just realized something - 2-factor auth in Blockchain.info doesn't really protect you from trojans!
At least, if you're using a Dropbox backup...
I mean, the wallet is synched to your Dropbox, where it is stored only encrypted with your main password. If a keylogger sniffs it, it can then find and decrypt your wallet.
I don't think there is a solution until proper m-of-n transactions are implemented.
Either the server has to know the full private key, or the client does:
If the server does, then it can run away with your money - this is not aligned with Blockchain.info's security model.
If the client does, trojans can sniff your key.
Bitcoin 0.7 ... we badly need you.

So much LOL in this thread |

Looks like my stuff was drop shipped from a few locations in china and hong kong, so it will be several more days til it arrives.
Tip: I got a total of 7 emails from registration thru shipping confirmations. It might be a good idea to see if some of those can be cut down so as not to get so many.

If it means anything, I think BFL has specified that a throttle period lasts 15 seconds.

Hey, the water inside that pothole is the same shape as the pothole! Therefore, the pothole was created by the FSM for the water! All hail FSM, creator of potholes to fit the shape of water! |

the speeds BFL posted for their ASIC units are just educated guesses, pure and simple.
Will they offer ASIC based Bitcoin mining hardware?
Probably
Will It Ship in 2012
No Way
The speeds they came up with are just something they pulled out of their asses via mathematical equations, they dont want you to buy products like the modminer quad, x6500, icarus and ztex
they want you to wait for another year for their asic instead of spending money on very profitable fpga's that you can get within weeks
they want to continue their strangle hold on this market (its starting to loosen) so they come up with these lies, give the community something to dream about, people believe their fallacies not because they deliver on all their promises but because they deliver just enough to keep everyone believing.
Don't worry they are not the only people working on ASIC based mining hardware (thank God)
You will know the real thing when you see it , because there will be a working prototype - not just an over inflated BFL design with some hypothetical speeds
stay tuned my friends
I can understand this sentiment from a common users' perspective, or even perhaps that of someone more learned, but regardless - it isn't anything you as a competitor should be saying in so many words. You have no proof positive or negative of how much work has or has not gone into the design and/or production of said devices, and claiming otherwise is detrimental to your own business as well. |
